Empirical formula for β − -decay half-lives of r-process nuclei
2017
Experimental data of β −-decay half-lives of nuclei with atomic number between 20 and 190 are investigated. A systematic formula has been proposed to calculate β −-decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei, with a particular consideration on shell and pair effects, the decay energy Q as well as the nucleon numbers (Z, N). Although the formula has relatively few parameters, it reproduces the experimental —decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei very well. The predicted half-lives for the r-process relevant nuclei obtained with the current formula serve as reliable input in the r-process model calculations.
